What antivirus do you have /what's the best in your oppinion ?
I have nod 32 with mara fix but since i have 512 mb ram and that takes 50 mb of my resources i'm thinking of changing it (had it for like 3 years ) .
I also used this beacause i'm downloading allot of pirated stuff...yeah...And usualy nod 32 doesn't detect keygens and cracks as viruses (allot are not viruses) but other antiviruses do .
Would you recommend any other anntivirus the same as nod32 but taking less resources ? /What antivirus do you have ?

Knock on wood, no virus or trojan for over 3 years now. Get the latest versions though...
I have 25+ yrs PC Tech.
I warn all users off the worst A/Vs to run, the issues from them are almost endless and I will not cover them here.
High end users never load the list below for any reason, again I won't cover the why too much to discuss in a game forum.
PC Cillin
Norton
McAfee
Trend micro
The one you listed is a decent A/V.
nod32 is a non intrusive A/V.
kaspersky internet security 2010 is one of the better A/Vs available that a Tech would use on a 32 bit system.
I do load that on a few users systems after working on it if they have nothing and seem to be infected often.
Most users are spyware infected more than virus and or trojan infected, FYI.
Theory? FACT!
Go back to school, Your I.T. training failed.
WOW64 is written so that 32bit based cannot infect the 64 bit kernel of the operating system. PERIOD!
I will not argue with the facts, nor with anyone lacking the knowledge.
That is not a theory and if your I.T. training told you differently they need to learn 64 versus 32 prior to teaching fail.
A simple tool at www.GRC.COM will prove that without you the user having to strain your brain in technical issues.
Run this simple app by Steve Gibson, he has forgotten more than your I.T. training has taught you to date.

I covered that already in this post. ::) Look up.
I am through discussing technical issues with flat liners.
32 bit CAN NOT SEE 64 bit PERIOD!!!!!
Can a 64 bit see and run 32 bit? YES DAMNIT!
Can that 32 bit garbage virus infect my 64 bit kernel or 64 bit applications? NO! NO! NO! NO!
Yet another flat-liner enters. You are a moron.
Open your stupid 32 bit virus with a 64 bit OS and watch the 32 bit infect the 32 bit files. Then when you are done committing idiot suicide to your 32 bit apps, YOU WILL STILL SEE NO INFECTION IN 64!
Close the moron gate, the flat-liners are still pouring in.
I will not argue with the facts, nor with anyone lacking the knowledge.

The above is true, however you I.T fellows forget that the majority of PC users do NOT run 64 bit systems. They run 32 bit systems.
and the guy that said mcafee, dont listen to him =p It doesnt seem as bad as norton, but still...
stay the fuck away, and pay your :10bux: for something non-shitty instead
Just in case you weren't trollin, I'd like to let you know I was infected with Win32/Brontok.E in less than 20 minutes of installing win7 x64 ultimate. Granted, it was a landmine left from not doing a cleans-weep of my last installation, but my point is that win7 ultimate has no problem running 32bit code
If anything, the wow64 emulation platform is a security hole, not a layer of protection.
That said, I've been using MSE for all my side work.
